Labour lose 3 points - ALL women leaving the party

"The 3-point fall in the Labour share [in You Gov poll] is entirely explained by a 6-point fall among women (from 46% to 40%)"

CON 43 (+1)
LAB 39 (-3)
LD 8 (+2)

@jenniferjames says "Oh fucking hell. I broke the Labour party. :-( "

I've got very mixed feelings. On the one hand - go everyone! They'll have to take notice - surely?

But - Jesus Christ let's not let the Tories have another term.

But - we have to stick up for ourselves don't we.

Starting to think the people who say the rapid rise in TRA ideology is being fuelled by those who stand to benefit from a divided left might have a point. Sad

If the Tories state unequivocally that they will not erase women then I will vote for them.

Labour can't win the next election without women's votes

Absolutely. You can hand the Tories another decade if you choose.

Do you really want to do this? Considering Tory class genocide?

QueenLaBeefah · 13/02/2018 12:09

make Labour can't win the next election without women's votes and without female party activists doing the donkey work.

I refuse to vote for a party that seeks to erase women.

AngryAttackKittens · 13/02/2018 12:08

OK I'm temporarily breaking my ignore the sealion pledge to ask...

I believe your prediction for the last GE was that Labour would be swept away....a rump

Rump? Labour would as a result of the general election become someone's bum, and that bum would, what, be swept out to sea in a tsunami?

I'm so confused.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 13/02/2018 12:03

I was surprised as many where

But what eight months down the line Tories public spats Brexit negotiations are farcical NHS in crises and the Tories are still ahead Hmm

And what goals are those to purge the party of anyone who disagrees with Corbyn/Momentum/McDonnell well you are doing a good job of that can’t see much else happening so little on Brexit but that would take real hard work not just a few tweets and talks at rallies

Everyonematters · 13/02/2018 12:01

Horridemma, our votes do count. Every single one. Everyone I have spoken to outside the immediate Westminster bubble can immediately see the issues with what is actually being proposed. Keep talking to people. Make clear your vote depends on this matter. They work for us, remember.

gussyfinknottle · 13/02/2018 11:57

Birds, I love it!

makeourfuture · 13/02/2018 11:57

And they didn’t win the election, they are utterly useless at holding a the Tories to account even when they themselves are struggling and doing fuck all about Brexit

We are making progress towards our (yes our) goals.

I believe your prediction for the last GE was that Labour would be swept away....a rump.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 13/02/2018 11:54

You have a proper left Labour Party

And they didn’t win the election, they are utterly useless at holding a the Tories to account even when they themselves are struggling and doing fuck all about Brexit

TheXXFactor · 13/02/2018 11:53

who needs sleep when your unholy life force can be sustained on evil alone?

God knows how he sustains his post-PM perma-tan, given that he can't go out in daylight.

birdsdestiny · 13/02/2018 11:48

Who knew. Blair was destroying the world's economy whilst Corbyn was single handedly creating peace in northern IrelandGrin

LangCleg · 13/02/2018 11:45

I want a properly left Labour party. I want to support Corbyn. But if he can't get something as foundational as women's rights protected in his policy platform, I'm afraid I'm just going to tell him to get in the sea. Simples. Ball's in his court, not mine.

Botanistinhiding · 13/02/2018 11:43

Perhaps Blair really was omniscient XX - my respect for him went up when I realised why he’d kept the momentum/Corbynites so far away from him in the 90s.

Horridemma · 13/02/2018 11:41

@make - you need to trot to your superiors and say how horrible those middle England Ford Focus driving women are.

How mean we are for not believing some of the labour approved bullshit that is coming out !

People like you have cast people like me adrift politically. Our vote does count.

AngryAttackKittens · 13/02/2018 11:39

Well, you know, efficiency is a virtue, and who needs sleep when your unholy life force can be sustained on evil alone?

QueenLaBeefah · 13/02/2018 11:37

You're not very good at this make

TheXXFactor · 13/02/2018 11:35

Well, if your boy Blair hadn't crashed the world economy.....perhaps none of this would have happened?

You've got to hand it to him: how he found time to buy millions of US sub-prime mortgages while running the UK, I'll never know.

makeourfuture · 13/02/2018 11:35

On.Your.Watch.

AngryAttackKittens · 13/02/2018 11:35

There's a little thread about spam that people may want to go check out...

Lettucepray · 13/02/2018 11:35

Currently in hot debate on facebook with men on The deep left's page about this very issue....apparently I should take my views back to the 1950's where they belong!

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 13/02/2018 11:34

It wasn't just Blair and Brown.

The entire Western economy sleepwalked into the economic crisis.

Blair and Brown were caught out as they were relying on 'stability is sexy'.

Many institutions, including local authorities had money invested in banks which collapsed with the housing market.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 13/02/2018 11:34

And what is Tory class genocide?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 13/02/2018 11:33

Blair crashed the world economy

Grin you really need to read up on that time and not something that is published by the far left

Horridemma · 13/02/2018 11:32

What?? Don't be so bloody ridiculous.

I think you are giving Blair far too much credit. One politician from our country is not responsible for the world economy!

makeourfuture · 13/02/2018 11:29

Anyway while Corbyn & co are in control of Labour the Tories are staying in power for longer

Well, if your boy Blair hadn't crashed the world economy.....perhaps none of this would have happened?
